Mina Quintos de Cima
Pegmatite in Equador formation quartzite. Known for its "Paraíba tourmaline" (copper-bearing elbaite). A detailed characterisation of a blue-green tourmaline by Sugiyama et al. (2017) showed it be a fluor-elbaite.
The pegmatite mine is perated by H&R mining company.
The zoned Quintos pegmatite dike, up to 150 m long and up to 20 m thick, is enclosed in quartzites of the Equador Formation. Its internal structure consists of a texturally heterogeneous border zone, wall zone, outer and inner intermediate zones, and discontinuous quartz core. Intermediate zones underwent locally strong albitization and lepidolitization. Typical minor to accessory minerals include muscovite, lepidolite, spessartine, apatite,
gahnite, zircon, beryl, spodumene and Nb,Ta-oxide minerals. Comb-like crystals of zoned multicolored tourmaline, up to 25 cm long, from albite-rich portions of the inner intermediate unit are typically oriented toward a quartz core. Commonly, pink to red core is followed by a narrow zone of “electric” blue elbaite and narrow green or black Fe-rich elbaite rim.
Located 9 km south (southwest) of the city of Parelhas.
